For a tutorial see the Adventure Mode Quickstart Guide. See Adventure Mode quick reference to quickly look up key commands. In Adventurer Mode (also called "adventure mode") you create a single adventurer (dwarf, human, or elf) who starts out somewhere in one of your generated worlds. You can learn about what ails the world and go on quests to end those troubles, venture into the wilderness to find caves, shrines, lairs, abandoned towers, and other towns and settlements. You can even visit your abandoned and retired fortresses and take all the precious items you yourself once created. Unlike Fortress mode, Adventurer Mode is a sort of advanced open world version of rogue or nethack taking place in the same procedurally generated worlds used for Fortress Mode.

You can play Adventurer mode in any world that has a civilization with the ADVENTURE_TIER token (which are elf, dwarf, and human in unmodded raws). [Leave feedback] [edit] Body.

Ultima Ratio Regum: The Roguelike

This version sees the addition of feudal cities & towns, nomadic fortresses and hunter-gatherer settlements to the world map; the creation of colonies by civilizations so inclined; an encyclopedia function that tells you everything about the world you’ve so far learned; a number of generated in-game histories which hint towards NPCs, items and plot points of interest; several tens of thousands of possible family sigils along with family trees for important houses; distinct flags for each type of civilization, and symbols for religions and cults; and various other small fixes, tweaks, memory/speed optimizations, etc etc.

This week’s entry is going to be a summary of what’s happened in the last week, then next week – on the 12th – I’ll be releasing 0.5! This in turn raised several things I’ll need to take account of for the next release, 0.6, when I’ll be generating the interiors of cities, towns, fortresses and settlements!

I traced accounts for embezzlement networks and smoothed out some rough edges there, and made sure the mercenary groups based on organized religions (as opposed to generic worship) functioned correctly.
